Exploding Kittens: Curse You!

NEW

You might say it's only a subtle twist. You might say it's a shameless way to sell more games. I'd say you're wrong on both counts. The new elements definitely change the strategy, adding layers of vengeance and revenge heaped on top of hilarious foul play. Just when you thought maybe it was time to move on to a new game as your go-to for game night, parties, or gatherings with people you are forced to be with (Thanksgiving is just around the corner -- save yourself from the chasm of discussing politics!) -- now you can curse them with abandon!

It's a definite must have to add to the library of Exploding Kittens games! Highly recommend!

xploding Kittens: Curse You is an absolute blast and one of the most entertaining family card games we've played. It perfectly combines humor, strategy, and just the right amount of friendly competition to keep everyone engaged from start to finish.

What makes this game so enjoyable is how easy it is to learn while still offering plenty of surprises. Every round is filled with laughter, unexpected twists, and memorable moments as players try to avoid disaster and outsmart each other. The artwork is hilarious and adds a unique personality to the game that appeals to both kids and adults.

The pace is fast enough to keep everyone's attention, making it a great choice for family game nights, gatherings with friends, or even quick games between activities. No two games feel exactly the same, which gives it excellent replay value.

If you're looking for a game that brings people together, encourages laughter, and creates fun memories, Exploding Kittens: Curse You is a fantastic choice. It's creative, entertaining, and guaranteed to become a favorite in your game collection. Highly recommended!

I honestly was oblivious to this being a whole new game, I thought it was an expansion! 😅 that's on me! It was really nice to get another set of the game (old one is well loved). It even has brand new artwork on theme. Adorable!!

The mechanic of the game evolving with you is unlike anything I have seen. It really adds a competitive edge with every round played and keeps the table guessing. This can definetly be played for a whole evening to night, which is awesome because the new mechanic is an excuse to play EK all night! Haha!

I am sort of bummed that this is mainly playable only once through, and with the same group for the best experience. You can reset the mechanic, but it isn't as suspenseful. Or rather, it's hard to pass along to another group interested. Like completing a video game and giving the completed game file to someone else. Of course it can be played again, but its just not the same when you already did all the quests. It is still playable and very enjoyable when expanded fully.

Overall, definetly recommend for any!

As longtime fans and players of Exploding Kittens, we were excited to try this out. However, the game at its core is pretty much identical, with the exception of one or two new cards that offer no change to gameplay, and solid additions from expansion packs (like Alter the Future). The new artwork and descriptions are cute and funny, but not any more so than the original game.

Upon adding the first curse, we were able to get a sense of the chaos intended from this addition, but actually getting there was slow. Once we had all the charms and curses in the deck, it was admittedly still rather disappointing.

In theory, it's a fun addition. With an inexperienced or silly group, it could produce well-intentioned and enjoyable chaos. But in a competitive setting with experienced players, the charms and curses are rendered useless, because by the time they're played, they serve essentially no purpose (other than maybe using 3 cards as a Defuse). The generally accepted strategy that enables the most success for us personally is saving all our cards until the end of the game, and then attempting to screw over or outlast our opponent(s). These additions to the deck are largely useless for this card hoarding strategy. We also tend to avoid taking a lot of risks in our gameplay, so, for example, while I had the curse to limit a hand to five cards, I knew the others had cards to move the curse, so I refrained from playing it until I could be confident it would not be moved back onto me -…
